It was a normal morning. Everyone was going to work or to study, the stores being opened and the urban life, minute by minute, was starting to appear. And between the urban lives, on the streets, there was a woman of science riding a bike happily.

Olivia Octavius was riding right to her new location to work. It had happened some weeks since he was 'recruited' by the Eight Precepts of Death, and she did what she wanted: Using the fake office's building where they kept hidden, a little laboratory was installed. The budget was approved and she also had different kind of technological devices. And finally, the privacy was complete, just using the nickname 'Doc Ock' to have a reference about her person.

But today, she had to cover something else for Overhaul. When her bike trip ended, she had arrived on the compound of the Eight Precepts of Death. Olivia pressed the doorbell next to the large gate and waited to receive an answer.

"Who is it and which is your business?" A tired voice asked on the other side. Olivia coughed and answered.

"Doc Ock; Investigation about cleaning." Olivia presented to herself. After some second, a buzz sounded and the gate got opened. Olivia opened the door and carried next to her the bicycle, walking calmly and with confidence for the courtyard, fascinated about how well cared the garden is.

She opened a gate, going into one of the buildings. On the inside of the building, she left the bicycle and proceeded to go to her laboratory. On the floors that are in the middle, the building looked very similar to those that Olivia saw on the Japanese TV Shows that she watched on her previous office when she was bored: Everything ordered on the same order, with the same kind of desk, same computer, lamp… Nothing different.

But she wasn't working on those floors. In fact, her laboratory was on the superior floors. Olivia unlocked a door with a key that she kept exclusively hidden in a pocket, far of her bundle of keys.

The laboratory wasn't bigger than her little apartment, but it worked. Also, it was divided into two sections. The first one was composed of different hydraulic tools, tables with the most modern devices related with micro-surgeons and microscopic enginery, a desk with a computer and a widescreen (Where everything wasn't ordered on the screen. Or how Olivia preferred says 'It has an order: My order.') and a yoga ball that she used as seat. On the ground, on a corner, there was a futon with a pillow that she used to rest those nights that the project needed to be watched.

The second section had steel walls and in the middle, there was a steel table. On the corners of that half, there were copper bobbins, dials and large pipes with different kind of substances and chemicals. On the first half of the room, there was a thick window with a control's panel to control each device on the second half.

The room didn't have windows, compensating that lack of light with abundance energy-efficient light bulbs. It could be described perfectly as the dream room of a crazy villain on some cheap B or Z Movie.

Olivia sat on the yoga ball and switched on her PC. After unlocking the PC, she opened a file on the computer and, using as reference a little notebook that she kept on her handbag, started to type quickly. She opened different windows just to encode some patterns, save different ideas and keep them on paper, or just listen to music.

"Geese, flying from the winter. That's what I should do…" Olivia hummed while she continued writing codes and encoding other files. At that point, she had been on the laboratory since 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. While herself was working on the computer, her four mechanic arms had been those 5 hours making more of her 'Grim Reapers'. Lucky for her, she hadn't shown to anybody her other arms. Even there was one day that she was almost caught if she hadn't been attentive. But the good thing about that day is that she prepared a better plan.

/#/

During the first weeks on which Olivia started to work on the Headquarters, she had constant meeting with Overhaul, explaining her ideas and he talking about future businesses based on what Olivia was trying to produce constantly. She had discovered during those days Trigger, a drug made to give more power temporally to the Quirks with the price of lose their mind meanwhile.

That drug was a nice discovering for Olivia, who decided to use it as part of her manipulation of the Goblin Formula made by OsCorp years ago that ended transforming to the respected Norman Osborn on a monster called 'Green Goblin'. But another interesting point was that they didn't have planned to sell the 'Grim Reapers'.

Why?

That was the question made by Olivia to Overhaul when he revealed that fact. She was kind of confused; because she thought that they wanted to erase the Quirks around the world, starting with Japan. Overhaul just touch his hands together and move them close to his 'beak'. He started to breathe softly and talked.

"Can you feel it?" Overhaul asked since his couch. When Olivia raised an eyebrow, Overhaul continued. "Since the Quirks appeared, the rule of this game has been clear: The most powerful Quirk is the stronger on the jungle. There had been uncountable ones: One stronger than others; others, weaker than others. But the rule has been the same."

"The Yakuzas were on the top of the power in this country by centuries. But when the Quirks appeared, we started to slow ranks, descending day by day, year by year… Until be closer of the bottom. Our honor, our reputation, our power has been stepped on the mud. The plague of the Quirks has made that we can't be taken seriously, the mafias are gone."

"But now, with this…" Overhaul took one of the 'Grim Reapers' between his thumb and the index finger. "… We can erase the plague of the Quirks, and recuperate our position as the king on the top. What I can feel is that new times are coming, a war for being the king is coming. And we have the advantage with those creations, making that those who believe be on the top, both heroes and criminals, can finally fall."

"So, have you made me be here for 10 minutes, listening to your speech, just to tell me that you prefer to save them to delete heroes and villains? Heh, See? All in a sentence." Olivia asked, with a conceited grin. Overhaul just frowned, making that Olivia waved a hand. "It's just that I prefer to give a speech, going right to the information. Talk and don't have an idea about what you want distract to the listener."

"I'm not interested in your advises about how to talk. I'm interested just in your production and work." Overhaul exclaimed with venom in his voice. "You can leave" Olivia nodded, not erasing her grin, and proceeded to go back to the laboratory. "I just hope that you have more projects than just the bullets."

Olivia nodded. "Give me time. Trigger will be just a little mint candy for the bad breath compared to the project that I'm creating." And with that said, Olivia abandoned finally the room. While she was going to her laboratory, she took a notebook. She walked, writing things on it until she opened the laboratory.

But while she was walking through the laboratory, she heard noises of liquid falling on the ground. She knew that it couldn't be anything that she was investigating. All the pipes, glasses and recipients were new, and the chemists were practically inoffensive if she didn't mix them. Someone else was with her in the laboratory. And due that the noise was originating close to her, where there was just an empty table ready to have tools, it should be coming since the roof.

But instead of turning back and call its attention, she continued walking. Olivia walked, not doubting on her walk and keeping all the time her eyes on the notebook. When she arrived on her yoga ball and typed the password of her PC, she closed the notebook and started to save it back on her handbag.

In the same second Olivia liberated the notebook on her hand, she turned back and pointed her right arm to the roof. On her hand, there was a Glock19: 9mm. She aimed the gun on the roof when she saw a man grabbed on a pipe on the roof, with long and greasy hair, a furry vest and dark pants. He was wearing a plain mask and was 'drinking' a liquor bottle.

"Cockroach!" Olivia yelled, starting to shoot at the roof "A huge one!" The 'Bang!' of the bullets resonated on the room, while the man crawled on the roof.

Olivia, at some point, had the man ready to be shot. But before she could push the trigger, Olivia started to feel dizzy and lose her sense of balance. The man threw to Olivia the bottle, which Olivia barely could avoid, hitting on the leg. Olivia had to kneel and could continue shooting when she could see (barely) that the man was preparing to throw her daggers.

But then, the door was opened and a black mass arrived over the drunken man. Slowly, the vision of Olivia came back to be normal. Then she could see that the black mass should be one of the Yakuzas due that it had a white plague mask. The mass separated of the drunken man, revealing be a black cloak.

Olivia supported herself with the help of a table and walked slowly (still dizzy) to both people. "Sakaki, what's your problem?! What were you trying to do?!" A loud voice, which Olivia recognized as the voice of Mimic, yelled.

The drunken man, identified as Sakaki, took some minutes until he started to talk."I had… had heard ab-about the *hic* new acquisition of… Boss Over~haul~. *hic*I crawled… crawled and wan~ted observe her… and then… then… then *hic* she tried t-t-t-to shoot me! *hic* Why does she have a gun?"

"Dear, I'm American. It would be stranger if I hadn't a gun." Olivia explained the second question, smiling. "And that's what happens when someone explores, with no authorization, my work's zone. All unauthorized person, don't care for who is working, is a spy or mole who must be neutralized. I mean, the signal on the door was very clear." Then, Olivia moved her eyes to see Mimic "And haven't you given to the members of this group the memo where I specifically say that 'All my work will be showed on its right moment.'?"

It wasn't visible due to the mask, but Olivia knew that Mimic was frowning behind his mask. And Olivia couldn't care less than walk over ants while you're in a park. She was testing the patience of the Yakuzas, waiting for the correct moment. But meanwhile, she would let them think that she is just an arrogant clever girl. Mimic grabbed the head of Sakaki and talked. "Apologize."

"W-w-why? I was… defen*hic*ding myself." Sakaki asked, clearly annoyed. He wasn't going to bend for his almost assassin.

"She is our newest recruitment, Doc Ock. She was recruited due to a direct order of Boss Overhaul, who wanted her due to her incalculable value. If you hurt her, the boss will assure that you die and this time, permanently. Remember that you're dirt on the sole of his shoes for him; don't give him a reason to clean the dirt." Mimic explained completely angry. It was satisfying for Olivia to see people get angry due to her presence. But she was confused by a piece of the quote.

"'You die and this time, permanently'?" Olivia thought, clearly don't understand how that sentence could work. But well, Sasaki groaned and then he bent forward Olivia and mumbled 'I'm dross and I almost hurt you. I don't deserve to be forgotten'.

"And about you…" Then Mimic pointed to Olivia, who raised an eyebrow, waiting that he continued talking. "Why do you need a weapon? Don't you trust our loyalty?"

Olivia giggled and explained. "The only man who I trust died many years ago. Since then, things happened and one day, words at the level of 'loyalty' stopped their existence on my dictionary. And well, I have lost contact with 'Octopus' since I have been here, so I can't keep who was my strength close to me for my protection." Olivia then stretched her back. "And be happy that he could make me fail my aim. If not, well, I think that he would lose his main strength."

When he saw the bullets that Olivia had shot, he understood what she was saying. Olivia had been shooting 'Grim Reapers' to Sasaki "Don't dare to hurt our men again. And he will be punished by his infiltration." Mimic declared, finishing the conversation. Both men abandoned the laboratory.

"I… don't like *hic* her" Sasaki confessed, supporting himself on the wall while he walked wobbling.

"I think that nobody actually likes her, and that Overhaul just tolerates her until she can't be useful for us." Mimic confessed too. On his eyes, Olivia 'Doc Ock' Octavius was just a crazy mid-age woman who, for some reason, was a genius on different grounds of the science.

But what they ignored was that Olivia heard everything. But instead of being worried, she was smiling and laughing to herself. Eliminate to her? She would doom their lives before they could understand what happened.

/#/

"Even if you want to avoid, A thousand things will make me think that I go to you…" Olivia continued humming another song when she smiled when saw that was finishing the coding. "And… now." With that said, she typed the last code on the computer. On a table, a green liquid started to full a glass tube that was closed on one side. When the tube was full, one of the mechanical closed the other side and carried to the second half of the laboratory. The tube was put over a little platform on the steel table. Olivia walked to the control panel while the mechanicals arms got hidden on the harness.

"Preparing chemical activation," Olivia said, sliding faders carefully. Sound of electricity started to sound on the other side. Olivia put her green glasses, retiring her reading glasses and started to twist to the right a wheel. Two copper bobbins started to generate electricity on the shape of lightning bolts, which hit the glass tube on the metallic sides.

Slowly, but in a calculated way, Olivia continued twisting the wheel. When two minutes had happened, Olivia twisted to the original position of the wheel, stopping the lightning bolts. "Chemical Activation is a success. Now, Preparing Gasification." Olivia pressed a button, making that two little metallic devices appeared on both sides of the table. Those got connected right to the metallic sides.

Olivia slid two faders to the maximum. Then, minute by minute, the chemist started to evaporate. After 15 minutes, the entire liquid got evaporated inside of the glass tube. Olivia slid down the faders and pressed again the button. One of her mechanical arms grabbed the glass tube while she smiled.

"Pass 1: Completed."

/#/

Olivia had prepared a ration of 10 vials of her newest creation during the entire day of yesterday (Even having the obligation of sleep on the laboratory just to complete it at time). It had taken its time, but she finally had completed a way that Norman Osborn just did it at half. But, for the Eight Precepts of Death, Olivia had manipulated it enough to make it look like a simple first step.

At the early morning, she requested a meeting with Overhaul, Chronostasis, Mimic, and the Eight Expendables to show her last creation, plus a little weird request. She was demanded that waited at the reception of the office and that she must wear a mask for the meeting. She wore a gas mask, which was proportioned to her when she had by the first time the laboratory, and put all the vials on a briefcase.

"What does Overhaul planned to do?" Olivia thought, waiting on the reception, tapping on the reception's desk. She was boring and the mask was stifling. Actually, she could have worn it before to go to the meeting and not now. But the most important now "Where is everyone? Should I go to someplace? The greatest Yakuzas, can't even tell to someone where someone must go."

But before Olivia could continue complaining a buzz sounded and, on the wall, a hidden door was opened. On the hidden passageway, there were stairs that went down, to the underground. Due that there wasn't anybody waiting there, she proceeded to go downstairs. It was a quite long way until she found the bottom of the stairs.

On the underground, there was a long corridor on a place that was clearly the basement. On the roof, there were pipes where the water, gas, wires and the basic stuff of every building goes. The walls were made by steel plaques, protecting whatever it could be behind of those walls. The corridor was barely illuminated by some light bulbs hooked on the wall.

Olivia walked calmly for the corridor. With each step, the echo went through the entire hidden place, making that Olivia watched left and right all the time and had her mechanical arms ready to attack if it was necessary. The corridor started slowly to divide into different branches, making ask Olivia Octavius what the Yakuzas had hidden on those corridors.

In fact, she stopped in front of a different corridor. Olivia didn't know why she stopped on that exact corridor. It was practically dark, with just distant light bulbs giving some kind of illumination and some closed doors. She couldn't hear anything except the silence, but when she gave a little step, a voice started to resonate around the corridor.

"Dad isn't… a monster." A voice of a little girl sounded, sobbing. She was clearly crying, suffering for something. But that voice was easily recognizable for Olivia Octavius, who walked slowly right to the corridor while a whisper escaped of her lips.

"Liv?" Olivia said in a whisper. But she couldn't continue.

"Doc Ock." A serious voice sounded behind her. When she could escape her trance, she turned back to see Chronostasis, who was wearing his plague mask, waiting next to a door. "The meeting will be here. Boss Overhaul and everyone who you requested is waiting for you." Chronostasis declared, opening the door.

Olivia gave a last look to the corridor that was behind of her with the corner of her eyes and walked to the door. She tried to keep that thought on a corner of her mind and concentrate on the meeting. When Olivia went into the room, there was Overhaul, Mimic and Chronostasis sat down on a couch. Behind of the couch, there were 8 men who they were wearing plague mask (with the exception of a bald man who was wearing a facial mask, another person who was wearing a mask similar to the head of a scarecrow, and the man who was identified as Sakaki), but each one different between them: Since muscular men to skinny boys. In the middle of the room, there was a weight of 300kg, as Olivia requested.

"Well, some of the guys here we have met. Some on good terms and others…" The eyes of Olivia pointed to Sakaki and for the corporal language, it was clear that he didn't enjoy that innuendo. "But for the others, I must present myself. I'm 'Doc Ock' for each one of you, and my work here has been the development of better weapons."

"If you have received the memo, you must know about the 'Grim Reapers', the bullets made to erase permanently the Quirk with any way possible to recuperate it. Obviously, on a war, have the best on armament is important. But a weapon is as efficient as the user of that. You had the infamous Trigger, who makes stronger the Quirk and even going levels further. But the formula, the drug… Is incomplete and imperfect. Lucky for you, I was passing by the city when I discovered your problems and I could make something better."

Then, Olivia proceeded to open the briefcase and took one of the vials with the drug. "Who of the Eight Expendables is the weakest talking about natural strength?" Olivia asked, kindly. She waited some seconds until that one of them, the one who was wearing a black plague mask, a black bowler hat, and a black cape, walked until being in front of Olivia. "If the memo was right, you're the one called Shin Nemoto, and your Quirk is 'Confession'. Completely useless on the fight, so you prefer to be as a back-up. Well…" Olivia pointed to the weight. "Lift it."

Nemoto watched right to Olivia and talked. "Are you trying to humiliate me in front of everyone?" Nemoto asked. Olivia smiled and answered.

"My purpose is to humiliate and be superior to everyone. I enjoy the pain of everyone be judging and humiliated. It's a personal fetish." Olivia answered with pure honesty. Then she realized what she said and put the tips of the finger of her right hand over a place on the gas mask where it was her mouth, smiling under her mask. "Oops, did I say that?"

"Shin! Do what she demanded!" Overhaul demanded loudly. Nemoto bent in front of Overhaul.

"Sorry, Boss Overhaul," Nemoto said, apologizing by his attitude. Then, he bent and put his hands on the weight. He tried to lift it, but couldn't lift nor 1mm.

"Can you feel that? You can't lift something heavy on a world where the standard is 'stronger is better'. You have a Quirk, yes, but you're taken as a joke due that just can answer questions with honesty." Olivia started to insult Nemoto, clearly humiliating more. "You're defective, pathetic, breakable, a noodle between strong hands… You. Are. Weak."

Nemoto had enough of those insults and was ready to murder her and face the consequences. But even before he could do something, Olivia grabbed the vial and twisted the top, liberating gas to Nemoto. "Breath it, even if you don't want. This gas can go through every filter." The gas went through the mask. "Breath it, and let the power feel around your body." And then, suddenly…

Nemoto lifted the weight. With no effort, he could carry the weight until the neck and, with a last effort, over his head. The Yakuzas' eyes widened until the unexpected demonstration of strength, while Olivia clapped with just the fingers. Nemoto released the weight of his hands, landing heavily the weights on the floor, and observed confused his hands.

"Gentlemen..." Olivia observed the Yakuzas with the same vial on her hands "The Green Goblin. Maximize all the human capacities: Strength, agility, speed, endurance, reflex, quirk, creative thought, literal thought… This formula transforms the common man to a hyper man." Olivia explained, smiling. She knew that this demonstration was enough to keep them in the pocket. "At least this version of The Green Goblin."

"What do you mean with 'this version'?" Overhaul asked, grabbing a vial and observing each detail.

"Those dials have a diluted version of the formula. A raw dial of this formula could derivate on Bipolar disorder, dementia, Nerve damage, Parkinson's principle, aggressiveness with killer tendencies and obsessive manipulation." Olivia explained, enumerating the reasons. "The Green Goblin maximizes moth body and mind. But with the mind, it maximizes both clever thought and craziness. It's for that reason I diluted those samples on 'Miak', a Bulgarian medicine. It reduces the effects, but keeps the user with the mind on his correct place." Then, Olivia sighed. "Even with it, it has some side effects."

Overhaul twisted the hand, leaving that Olivia continued explaining. "The formula needs to burn energy, so use each vitamin and nutrient that the body hasn't digested. When the effects end, the body needs to recuperate the nutrition that has lost. I recommend drink something like milk after each use of The Green Goblin, it has enough vitamins, calcium, potassium, sodium, and calories."

Olivia proceeded to share a vial to the Eight Expendables, to Mimic and Chronostasis. Olivia knew that Overhaul preferred to see his men doing the work, or do it with no kind of help. "Just take 3 seconds of Green Goblin. Take the entire vial at once would be noxious, and the vial has doses for 15 minutes."

Overhaul slowly started to clap, clearly enjoying this last creation. "Good, really good. You have not just surpassed my expectative on your skills, but also you have brought to us a new and stronger source of power for our war." Overhaul claimed, grabbing the hands of Olivia together. "The Eight Precepts of Death have a debt with you. Ask us about anything you want, and I will provide to you."

"I want see the process of creation of your Quirk-Erasing Bullets," Olivia demanded deadpanned. Overhaul frowned, clearly not happy to do that, but he did a promise.

"Wait to tomorrow. We'll prepare everything so you can see it." Overhaul declared. Then, he pointed to the door. "You can leave." Olivia nodded and proceeded to leave the hidden room.

/#/

It was late at night, Olivia felt enough lazy to not go back to her house that night. Instead, she preferred to celebrate the success of her plan on the laboratory, on her loneliness. She had been drinking beers and enjoying some sweets, thinking about projects for her future 'superpowers'.

"A man with the capacities of a Rhino… No, sounds absurd and isn't like Gargan was that good." Olivia mumbled, biting a tiny blueberry's lollipop in her mouth while she was lying on the futon, looking to the roof. "The capacity of shoot sound-waves as attack… No, the external recourses wouldn't be spectacular and taken as a joke of weapon."

Olivia stretched her arm to grab another beer, but when she found the package with her fingers, she saw that she had ended the beers. She had drunk 6 beers and didn't feel the alcohol on her body. Olivia frowned when she saw her lack of liquor. "Great, now I can't do anything interesting."

Olivia thought what to do and, after some seconds for choice, she got up of the floor and proceeded to leave the laboratory. Out of her common outfit, she just had some candies on each pocket and her gun hidden on the back of her pants. She walked, thinking that after of shows them a weak version of the Green Goblin, she had taken enough confidence to see the source of the Quirk-Erasing Bullets.

"When I can find the biologic source of the bullets, it would just eliminate it, neutralize those Yakuzas and take everything to myself." Olivia thought, clearly annoyed. "The people have stopped appreciate the hard work of doctors like me. They think that we can be changed as socks if something happens. At least Frisk knew and respected the hard work behind me." Olivia punched a wall, frustrated. "Eliminate me? If six Spider-men needed a punch of luck to stop me, I don't think that a bunch of gangsters can compete against me."

Olivia wanted to laugh, but that intention stopped when a quick view on the corner of her right eyes saw something out. On the garden, on a little pond, there was someone. Quickly she activated her mechanic arms and, opening slowly the window, the mechanical arms started to climb her down quietly. When Olivia landed on the garden, the four mechanical arms hid on their position on her back and walked slowly.

Adapting her eyes to the darkness of the night, Olivia saw who that person was. It was a little albino girl, not older than a 6 years old girl, which hair is as pale as her skin. The color of her eyes is red and a little horn grew since her forehead. On both arms and legs, there were bandages with stains of dry and fresh blood, meaning that those bandages were used more than once and was wearing a dirty medical gown. The little girl was feeding the fishes on the pond.

"What is a little girl doing here?" Olivia asked mentally to herself, clearly confused by the unexpected presence of a little girl. She was sure that the little girl couldn't be dangerous. Actually, in the eyes of Olivia, she looked… undefended.

When she was enough close of the little girl, Olivia bent and poked slightly the left shoulder of the little girl. The reaction was completely surprising: The girl covered her hand with both arms and kneeled. When the little girl opened the eyes, she could see to Olivia observing her confused. Olivia kneeled to be on the same height.

"Are you okay, little girl?" Olivia asked with a warm smile. The little girl looked to the other side, looking ready to run away. There were tears on the corner of her eyes and answered.

"… Don't get closer." The little girl answered, avoiding look to Olivia. She was clearly nervous and worried about something.

"Why not?" Olivia asked, worried by the kid. What had happened to this kid? The girl, at the moment, didn't answer, waiting that Olivia left her behind. But when she saw that Olivia wasn't leaving her, she answered.

"… I could kill you" The little girl answered softly, almost a mumble. Olivia raised an eyebrow, surprised by the unexpected surprise. And for the way that the little girl said it, sounded more like a fact than a threat.

But Olivia smiled and moved closer to the little girl. "You said 'could', which means 'a possibility'. Do you want to kill me, little one?" Olivia asked, moving the right arm out of the view of the little girl. The little girl, after doubting for some seconds, shook her head. Then, unexpected for the little girl, Olivia patted her tiny head. The little girl shrank when she felt the fingers on the science woman, but when she felt that nothing wrong was happening, the little girl relaxed her body.

"I'm Dr. Olivia Octavius, 'Liv' for friends. What's your name, kid?" Olivia asked, waiting that she could identify the little girl.

"…Eri." The little girl identified finally as Eri, answered. Olivia smiled when she could finally hear the name of the little girl.

"Tell me Eri, where are your parents?" Olivia asked, worried about what had happened to this little kid. The little girl looked down and explained.

"Daddy died... and mommy… left me." Eri answered, with tears in her eyes. Olivia was surprised. She couldn't imagine someone abandoning a little girl so cute and little.

"Is there someone who keeps care of you?" Olivia asked again, really worried at this point. She should have, at least, a legal tutor. But even if Eri had a legal tutor, who could be to make her wear bandages on arms and legs?

"Mr. Chisaki. He promised me to reunite with mommy if I help her." Eri answered. "If I'm a good girl, I will see mommy again."

It was official for Olivia Octavius: Something very wrong was happening to this little and cute piece of pie. She didn't know what it could be, but she could try to avoid happening again at least. She will start helping her at that moment.

"Eri, let's make a deal: Come with me and let me change you those bandages, and then I will give you… this." Olivia took of a pocket a huge blue-n-purple lollipop with a white swirl. Eri observed confused the lollipop and asked.

"What is this?" Eri asked confused by the candy. Olivia was surprised to hear that question.

"Hasn't this little girl seen a candy on her life?" Olivia thought, don't understanding what had happened with Eri. "This is a lollipop, a sweet candy made by cute kids. Kids like you." Olivia poked the nose of Eri playfully. "Do you let me help you?"

Eri doubted for a moment, but at the end, Eri nodded. Olivia smiled and proceeded to lift Eri between both arms. Eri protested, clearly don't wishing to be touched, but in the end Olivia lifted the little girl in her arms.

"Now Eri, grab this while I do my magic." Olivia put closer the lollipop to Eri, who grabbed it since the stick and walked to the wall of the office. Then, the four mechanical arms of Olivia appeared since her back and started to climb the office until the floor. With a quick view, Olivia could see that Eri was seeing the mechanical arms with her mouth open.

The claws of the mechanical arms opened the window and put inside of the office both Olivia and Eri. When Olivia ended the trip and hid the mechanical arms on the harness, she could hear how Eri said 'Woooaaahhh', making that Olivia smiled.

"Those are cool, right? My best friends and the best company I can have. I got my inspiration on…" Olivia started to explain when she was interrupted by a yell.

"ERI!" A voice yelled. Olivia turned to see the owner of the voice, even if she had recognized the voice at the moment. In front of Olivia, Overhaul was walking right to her. Suddenly, Eri escaped and hid behind the legs of Olivia. Overhaul raised his view since Eri to Olivia, and proceeded to talk "Why is she with you?"

"I found her out, and I've seen that she has dirty bandages. I planned to change them and cure possible wounds." Olivia explained with complete honesty, waiting that she could reason with him. "Is there some problem with her?"

"Uncountable ones. The girl is a demon, a disgusting demon." Overhaul said, spitting venom on each insult. Olivia frowned, don't approving the gratuitous humiliation to the girl. Olivia walked till getting in front of Overhaul, don't share any word. Now it was clear that each one of them wanted to kill each one.

But that stopped when Eri talked. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chisaki. I didn't hurt Miss Liv." Eri exclaimed lowly, walking back to Overhaul. He grabbed Eri with strength on one of her slim arms and pulled her. But before to continue, Overhaul saw the lollipop on the hands of Eri, so he grabbed the candy and crush it with a hand.

"Doc Ock, get ready. On some hours, I will teach you how we make the Quirk-Erasing Bullets." Overhaul revealed before to abandon the corridor.

"I'll be ready, Mr. Chisaki" Olivia answered, revealing that little piece of information that she knew now. Overhaul finally abandoned the floor, not saying any word. Olivia was worried by that little girl, Eri. It was less than 10 minutes, but in the time she knew Eri, she had seen a lot of problems. And that gratuitous insult about be 'A disgusting demon.' Had been too much for Olivia.

But for now, she just could go to the laboratory and prepare herself to observe the creation of those bullets and discover who she should kill.

/#/

It was morning, 9:27 A.M. on the clock of the region. Every person who had to work had got up of the bed. All except by one: Olivia Octavius. She was laying on the floor, resting on the futon which covered her entire body.

But Olivia wasn't sleeping, she wished. Instead, she was suffering. Olivia was frozen watching the roof with sadness, frustration, disorientation, and rage on her mind.

Why?

Because the meeting about the Quirk-Erasing Bullets went wrong.

Olivia was guided by Overhaul to show the entire process, going through each step, one by one. The modification for the medicine and the machinery wasn't very interesting by Olivia. But when the part of discovering the biologic source came, the heart of Olivia fell. On a chair similar to those that the dentist had, there was Eri waiting. Before she could ask, Overhaul got closer to Eri and touched one of her arms.

Suddenly, the arm of Eri… exploded. Olivia gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. Eri yelled, clearly by the pain. Olivia just could be frozen, never waiting for that. But then, everything went worse: It wasn't just an arm. Overhaul exploded calculably Eri, until that the little girl was a bloody mass. And, as shocking was seeing Overhaul using some kind of Quirk that allowed him to explode things, he 'repaired' Eri, who was crying and had some serious wounds on both legs and the left arm.

Then, she understood: Eri was the biological source of the Quirk-Erasing Bullets. She was so passive and have wounds due that she was being used by something that she didn't want support. It wasn't a person who supported the crazy vision of Overhaul at any moment; it was a little girl whose life and childhood has been stolen on a blink. And even worse, when Olivia closed the eyes, she could see a young adult on a faculty having to accept experiments to pay her studies, a woman who had lost everything and could be seen in her eyes.

After seeing this, Olivia just abandoned the tour and came back to the laboratory. Since then, Olivia was thinking about what to do. She knew that the deal was over at the moment she saw that, but how to give Overhaul a deserved punishment was going far of her head.

Then, she realized what to do. Quickly, Olivia got up and activated the mechanical arms. "Maybe take everything you have will teach you," Olivia thought "Come on, girls. I must finish this project today. When sooner has been ended, better will be." Olivia explained to herself and her arms. Each arm started to work, even the human ones "Our deal has ended, Eight Precepts of Death. I swear before midnight, there isn't going to be more of you."

/#/

Olivia had solicited a new meeting with the Eight Expendables and the leaders of the Yakuzas' gang. She had warned about having a new weapon, calling their attention. Olivia walked again on the hidden passageway, ignoring each corridor. It was hard for her, due that she actually wanted to take Eri and escape of the Eight Precepts of Death, but Olivia knew that the Yakuzas would chase them.

Finally, she found the hidden room where it was going to happen to the new meeting. She went into the room, where the members of the Eight Expendables and Eight Precepts of Death were waiting in a bigger room, with a couch, table, and a carpet. It was a very pretty and fancy room.

Olivia didn't walk, sit or explained. She just frowned, looking directly to the Yakuzas before to talk.

"Gentlemen… I'm out." Olivia dryly proclaimed. Everyone except by one frowned to Olivia, challenging her. The only who didn't frown was Overhaul, whose eyes widened before to talk.

"What are you trying to say?" Overhaul asked, clearly not happy by that situation. Olivia saw that he slowly was taking off his gloves. She sighed mentally, waiting that her theory worked.

"I'm not working for this group anymore. I'm taking my things and leaving." Olivia explained. Overhaul frowned and veins could even be perceived on his forehead.

"Is Eri the reason? Yeah, it must be. That little murderer demon…" Overhaul started to lose on his thoughts before that Olivia continued.

"She is. I can't have any of my licenses here, I have done very questionable things in my life, and I even have made some irreversible things on some people… But at least I was ethic all the time: I never experimented on kids, I never approved any medical process without an expert and anesthetist, and I never humiliated them." Olivia answered. "My work ends where the ethic ends. Nice to meet them." Olivia turned and proceeded to walk out. But then, she was stopped by the voice of Overhaul.

"Who is saying that I will allow you to end this deal right now?" Overhaul asked, getting up of the couch and walking slowly right to Olivia. She turned back, with the Glock on her left hand. The other Yakuzas got ready to attack Olivia, surrounding Overhaul and getting on position for attack. But Overhaul pushed them away.

"I'm saying that," Olivia answered, pointing the gun to the Yakuza's boss. He was walking slowly to her. "Do you think that this is my first time dealing with a mafia boss? No, I've been doing this since I was younger than you. I tricked the most dangerous man on New York telling that I could recuperate his family when I just wanted experiment. And he believed me. And when I see you, I don't see the intimidating 6,7ft and 450lbs mafia boss who could kill one of the most annoying superheroes with his bare hands. Do you know what I see? I see a joke, told by a stutterer, that doesn't have a good conclusion and that ends with boos. I see the poignancy on rough."

Olivia laughed while the barrel of the gun pressed the chest of Overhaul, who didn't show any emotion. "You don't scare me, kid. Why? Because you don't have the capacity to show fear not using your powers."

Overhaul just inhaled air heavily, just to expel it seconds later. Then, he talked. "I can't show you fear, but I can show you one thing…" When he ended to talk, with a quick movement, he grabbed the left forearm (the arm that Olivia was using with the gun). Overhaul just mumbled one last thing.

"Pain."

And with that said, the forearm exploded. Since the elbow to down, there was just a stump with no scars. But the pain was still there, due that Olivia fell on her knees grabbing the stump, screaming for the pain and crying.

"This is the price you pay for think you can give us orders." Overhaul declared, but before he could continue, he listened to something weird. The cries of Olivia were changing slowly to a laugh. That made Overhaul frowned "What is so funny?"

"Because… I'm right-handed. I just needed to confirm something." Olivia confessed, cleaning the tears and mucus of her face with the coat's sleeve.

"What are you talking about?" Overhaul asked annoyed.

"You need your hands to use your power. And that's fantastic!" Olivia answered, explaining her view. "And do you know why?"

And before Overhaul could answer, Olivia extended her mechanical arms and coiled two of them on the arms of Overhaul. And without a doubt…

*SNAP*

*SNAP*

And accompanied by yells of pure and deep pain, Overhaul fell over his back… Fell with no arms. The amputated arms were thrown to a side of the room while the Yakuzas got ready to attack.

"Traitor!" Chronostasis yelled, "You've hurt our Boss!" Olivia just smiled, putting her green glasses while her mechanical arms were moving right to them.

"And he will be the last of your problems!" Olivia exclaimed, making that the arms were right to the Yakuzas, ready to attack them. But then, they were blocked by a transparent barrier. "Hekiji Tengai, Quirk: Barrier. Very clever use but…" The mechanical arms started to press the barrier with force.

Quickly, the claws started to dip on the barrier, getting less transparent. Hekiji tried to make more resistant the barrier, but in the end, the barrier exploded. With speed, one of the mechanical claws caught the neck of Hekiji. "Those beauties were created to destroy everything." And with no effort, the claws squeezed the neck of Hekiji, just to decapitate it with the strength of it, making that the body and the head fell apart.

"You will die here. Nobody will be able to find your body!" Mimic yelled, indicating to everyone to attack Olivia. The first on attack were Katsukame and Hojo. Olivia launched one of the claws right to the chest of Hojo, but the claw glanced off the chest, that was covered in glass now. Olivia avoided the sword of glass made by Hojo climbing to the roof.

"Your effort to survive is good, but…" And before Olivia could continue, she felt that her strength and energy disappeared. The grip of her claws became weak and she felt to the floor, where she was kicked by Katsukame.

"I stole all your stamina. And I didn't need even touch you." Katsukame declared, continuing kicking Olivia on the back. With one of the kicks, she was expelled out of the room, changing the fight on the hidden passageways. "What an irony, isn't it? Death by your own creation, and weak enough to defeat me. Just me and your…" But then, he was interrupted.

"Actually…" Olivia weakly talked, but her mechanical arms were launch right to the belly of Katsumake, going through his body. And with no effort, the mechanical arms waved since inside to outside, splitting the body on 2. "My arms work sharing my brain and an A.I. Even sleeping, they can protect me."

And she was right. Actually, she was fighting to be conscious. Her arms and legs had lost all strength, hanging and waving. But she wouldn't go to rest until killing each one of them. Olivia's mechanical arms jumped to attack Hojo while Olivia moved like a rag doll.

Hojo attacked her covering his body with crystals, ready to squash Olivia. On a moment, the fist of Hojo got stuck on a wall. Ready to attack him, the arms were right to the body. But before Olivia could grab him, her vision came back to be dizzy and blurry, failing the attack.

"Sakaki!" Olivia yelled, frustrated by her incapacity to see. And due to her lost vision, she couldn't perceive at time an attack made by Hojo. Creating a sword, he tried to cut her head. Olivia was able to avoid it by millimeters, just having little cuts on her face. The arms avoided the cut pushing the body to the floor. Olivia allowed smile by a moment and closed her eyes. "But I don't need my eyes to see you. They see for me!" The arms jumped and crawled using the pipes.

Olivia could locate to Sakaki and the mechanical arms moved at incredible speed to grab him. Sakaki threw two daggers. Two of the claws grabbed the daggers while the other two continued the crawling. Sakaki crawled quickly, ready to attack her with a third dagger. When they were enough close, Sakaki tried to stab the mechanical arms, just to see how the dagger rebounded.

Taking that chance, Olivia grabbed with one of the mechanical arms the left leg of Sakaki. "Do you think that I designed those arms to be damaged with a little knife? It can survive even the sharpest swords ever made!" But when Olivia said that, ironically, Hojo came back to attack with his crystal sword. Olivia, by pure instinct, hit Hojo using to Sakaki. The latter exploded on a cloud of blood when he crashed on the crystal armor.

After doing that, Olivia could open her eyes, recovering her view. But before Olivia could continue attacking, she was dragged back on the air. Then, before she could react, Mimic jumped and used his quirk on the harness, fusing with the arms. The mechanical arms automatically twisted around Olivia, with one of them choking her. She tried to remove the mechanical arm on her neck when she was knocked down by a punch on her chest.

Olivia fell to the floor, not being able to breathe. Over here, one of the feet of Rappa preventing her to move. "You have ruined us." The swollen eyes of Olivia watched who was talking. It was Chronostasis. "You have killed our boss! And 3 of our best men! But we have all your work on our hands. We'll revenge his death killing you slowly, and we'll complete his mission with your work. Do you wish to say something?" He asked, preparing his hair to attack her.

Olivia barely had oxygen on her lungs and her body. But the little air she had, she said three words "Command… 66" When she said that, electricity was activated on the harness, electrocuting to Mimic, to Rappa and herself. With screams of pain, Mimic separated of the harness. But before he could react, the arms grabbed Mimic on his neck. "You weren't the first who does that," Olivia mumbled. Then the claw squashed the head of Mimic on the roof, dipping his head and neck into the body, breaking his neck.

The breathing was getting heavier and her vision was getting darker, so Olivia had to end this quickly. Two of the claws grabbed to Setsuno and Hojo on their head and, with no words, the claws squashed their heads.

"Eat, eat… EAT YOU!" One of the last expendables, Soramitsu Tabe, yelled being prepared to eat her. But before he could try it, a claw grabbed the head; and another, the jaw. With no effort, the claws separated the head of the body and the jaw of the head.

"Just die!" Chronostasis yelled, shooting his hair to Olivia. She just smiled weakly, jumping to the pipes of the roof. What Chronostasis ignored was that behind of Olivia, Shin Nemoto was pointing to her with his handgun. But when Nemoto shot his handgun, Olivia had jumped to the pipes of the roof.

The hair of Chronostasis destroyed the body of Nemoto while the shot of Nemoto went right to his hair, between eye to eye. They both died without any of the attacks of Olivia. When she came back to the floor, the last one alive was Kendo Rappa. Olivia had eye contact with Rappa, smiling weakly and breathing heavily.

"I joined a long time ago to the Eight Expendables because Overhaul was the only one who could defeat me and I wanted to defeat him." Rappa narrated, creaking the fingers and the neck. "But you could defeat the three Leaders and each one of the Eight Expendables. You are a worthy rival to be my last fight."

Olivia nodded and prepared to attack. Rappa tried to punch with incredible speed to Olivia, but two claws grabbed (each one) one hand. Rappa moved and punched the air, being able to move the mechanical arms –surprising to Olivia with the power and speed that he should have-.

"I can suppose that you have taken the Green Goblin, right?" Olivia asked, spitting blood.

"It is a great help. It makes me feel powerful, unstoppable, able to defeat each one." Rappa answered, being completely honest. Olivia allowed smile and, with the last two arms, they twisted around the knees and broke each one.

Rappa fell, screaming by the pain. The legs got twisted, bent in the wrong direction. "You know? I lied about the Green Goblin. The effects were modified with any 'Miak'. It was just a joke about a movie of my adolescence. I just took it by an irony thing I did: For the modifications I did, I needed a corporal source that could be used and that the user couldn't notice quickly. And I found it: Calcium. All the energy that the drug needs is stolen right of your bones. For that reason I recommended drink milk, because it would work as a temporal patch. But now…" Olivia twisted the arms, sounding crunches of the broken bones, provoking more yells "… your bones are fragile as crystal."

And with no effort, Olivia broke the neck of Rappa, killing the last one. Olivia allowed fall to the floor and breathe a little bit. She hadn't received such beating since the bus-truck. Her body hadn't any broken bones, but the bruises and cuts were killing her on pain. After this, she would need to rest.

But before she could have the comfort of sleep, Olivia could hear whispers. The mechanical arms moved Olivia to the room where the fight started. Then, Olivia saw that Overhaul was still alive. Barely, but there he was.

"Then I can continue with my original idea." Olivia thought, grabbing something of her handbag with her right arm (the only one she had) that was on the room. Olivia went moving closer to Overhaul, who looked at her with panic.

"W… W… Why…?" Overhaul tried to ask, don't having the power to complete a sentence.

"Actually, I have planned to do that since the beginning," Olivia confessed. Then, she pointed out the thing in front of Overhaul. It was an orange Taser Gun with a long butt. When she pressed the trigger, two little harpoons stabbed Overhaul on his chest. He felt pain for some seconds and then, nothing. On the Taser Gun, a blue LED switched on and a little sphere fell over the hand of Olivia.

"After investigate about my bullets, I could design my last creation: A gun able to steal the Quirk of the user who attacks it. Sadly, I can't discover how to put Quirks on other people without produce mental and physical damage, just give back the Quirk to the user." Olivia explained. "But I prefer to have your quirk with me for future plans. And thanks for exploding my left arm. Luckily, I'm just right-hand."

Overhaul tried to protest, yell, cry for help, but he never could. On the same second Olivia abandoned the room, Overhaul passed away by the massive blood loss. Olivia moved the bodies (or whatever she could find on the battlefield) and hid them on the room where the fight started. After of lock it, the arms moved her to the office's building and activated a microphone connected to the speaker's system around the building and passageways.

"Gentlemen, Doc Ock is talking. I have eliminated each one of the Eight Precepts of Death and Eight Expendables. You can verify it on the room that Overhaul indicated where I had to reunite, but I have an offer for each one of you: You can attack me, and die as your stronger bosses did, or escape. Choose your poison." Olivia narrated on the microphone. She waited by ten minutes some kind of attack… But the attacks never arrived.

Olivia had one last thing to do before to finally close her eyes. She moved around the passageways and looked for the room of Eri. After some minutes, she found the room where Eri was.

"Miss Liv?" Eri asked, worried and scared. Olivia allowed smiling warmly by a moment. "Are you okay? Your arm…"

"Don't worry, little girl." Olivia started to talk, breathing all that she could. "Everything is fine, just tired. Mr. Chisaki and the others won't hurt you ever again. I promise you."

Olivia saw a little glow of hope in her eyes, but that glow disappeared instantly when Eri walked far of Olivia. "…But I can. I'm a disgusting demon."

"No, you're not. If you were it, you would have hurt me." Olivia tried to argue with Eri. But Eri shook her head.

"No, I killed daddy. For that reason mommy hates me." Eri revealed. Then, Olivia understood what had happened to her. Overhaul was insulting and humiliating her due to a trauma. Olivia didn't know how to fix it, but she had an idea to help her for now.

"Eri, close the eyes for a moment. It will hurt, but I promise you that it will be just a little bit. You won't feel anything else later." Eri started to shake, but Olivia put over one of her shoulders the last arm she had. "Do you trust me?"

Eri doubted for a moment, but at the end closed the eyelids with strength and kept the breath. Olivia pointed the Taser Gun to Eri and shot the harpoons. Eri shrank when she felt the harpoons, but after some seconds, Olivia retired the harpoons. The little horn on the forehead of Eri shrank until disappeared on her forehead, like if it never had existed.

Eri opened the eyes and saw to Olivia holding a little sphere. "Eri, here it's your Quirk saved. Keep it with you and when you feel you're ready to recuperate it, you will choose. For now, you don't have Quirk, and you can't hurt anyone."

Eri started to cry, hugging to Olivia. Olivia didn't expect so unexpected reaction, but she hugged Eri back, while the latter was mumbling "Thank you."

"Eri, now I just need sleep. Can you promise me that you'll be here when I wake up?" Olivia asked, receiving a positive answer when Eri nodded. Olivia smiled and closed her eyes, she slept.

And chapter 2 completed. I started to write it since I published the first chapter. Originally it was going to be 2 chapters, but if I'm honest, I'm not a big fan of the Yakuza's Arc. It was one of the most boring stories to read. So I preferred to spend all the time possible to eliminate all them in just a chapter.

Soon I will start with the most known characters, but now I will rest by one day or two (Consider that I had to write on my holidays, during the 4-hours trip back to my house, and the time that I have been on house).

Please, leave Follows, Favs and Reviews. Actually, I prefer more Reviews than the first two. Know what you're thinking gives me life and wish to continue writing.

P.S: The two songs that Olivia is humming are 'Just Hate Me' by Pain, and 'Suave' by Luis Miguel.
